Crealies Gatefold Card - You're Amazing!!

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share this cute card using Crealies latest dies and the cutting sheet. This is the first time, I've used cutting sheet for my card🙂 and I really enjoyed playing with it. 

Over to my card..

To make this card, I first die cut out Kraft colored card base using Crealies Cardzz dies. Then I layered it with cutting sheet using the same dies.

After that, I die cut out this Oval using Crealies Cardzz dies, layered it and adhered it to the card base using foam tape to give it some dimension.

Meanwhile, I fussy cut these cute critter, flowers and butterflies using Crealies cutting sheet and adhered these to the card panel as well as inside of the card.

Finally, I added the die cut out sentiment on the oval using Crealies Texto positivo dies to complete this card. I really like how this gatefold card turned out.

I hope you get inspired. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugsxx

Time Out Challenge #312 - Photo Inspiration

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #312. It's a photo inspiration challenge where we have to get inspired by the photo (which was clicked by me during our Albania trip🙂).

This is what I've created, inspired by beautiful sunset colors in the photo. Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Doodle Bugs

Prize: Coupon code of $25 Store credit

To make this card, I took A2 size White water colored panel which I die cut out using Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies - CUTplorations . I watercolor the background and leave it for air dry.

 

Once the panel was dried, I stenciled it with Black ink using Crafter's Companion - Decorative stencil designed by Sheena Douglass called Eiffel Tower. I bought it long back in a Craft fair when we were staying in UK, just after coming back from our Europe trip in 2016. Yes, finally after almost 10 years I opened the seal of this stencil. So proud of myself😝. I'm going strong with my new year resolution to use my "never before used craft stash" 😍.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from one of the MFT stamp set, doodled some birds and adhered this panel to the Grey colored note card. I really love how this one layer stenciled card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#312 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Doodle Bugs and the Challenge winners will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

I can't wait to see how you get inspired.

Time Out Challenge #300 - Theme Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share  my DT post for Time Out current challenge #300. It's theme challenge where the theme is  "Autumn celebrations". And I got inspired by the colors of autumn — the warm yellows, oranges, and greens. I used layering and stenciling to show how leaves change shades this season. I wanted to capture the cozy, happy feeling of autumn and send a little hug through this card.

This is what I have created using Altenew layering stencils - Floral Acanthus ( part of craft your life project kit)... This is the first time I've used this stencil...😁(bought it long back).. Over to my card...

Our generous Sponsor is Doodle Bugs

Prize: Coupon code of $25 Store credit

To make this card, I took A2 size White cardstock and stenciled it using Altenew layering stencils - Floral Acanthus. I've used different shades of Green, Yellow and Orange inks from my stash.

 

Once done with the stenciling, I die cut out the sentiment using same kit on Black & White card stock and adhered it to the card panel using foam tape to add some dimension. Then I stamped rest of the sentiment.

It was looking very empty to me, so to create some drama, I added some Black lines with loose hands along the edges of the card. Finally, I added some clear droplet embellishments to complete this card... I really like how this card turned out.

I hope you get inspired and will join this challenge#300 at Time Out. This challenge is sponsored by Doodle Bugs and the Challenge winners will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to spend on their shop.

I can't wait to see how you get inspired.

Hello Everyone,

I'm stopping by to share my DT post for Time Out current challenge #286 - Pick 2, where we have to pick two words from the challenge banner to make the card. And I chose Water (coloring) and Pastel colors.

Over to my card..

Our generous Sponsor is Gina k. designs

Prize: $25 Store Credit

To make this card, I took Watercolor Paper which I die cut out a bit smaller than standard A2 size card panel. Then, I stamped it using Maker Forte stamp set called "You're berry sweet".  I  also stamped the sentiment from the same set.

Then, I picked up my watercolors and did some loose water coloring. I just went with the flow, using plenty of water. I love how the colors spread across the image and blended into a beautiful background. Once the panel dried, I adhered it to the matching colored cardstock.

To add interest, I added glossy accent to the berries. Unfortunately, it is not visible in the image. I really like how this card turned out.
